Watch Kerry, Erekat and Livni on the Road Ahead
Here’s today’s press conference at the State Department. Note how firm and detailed Secretary of State John Kerry was in his 11-minute presentation, how poetic Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni’s 4-minute remarks were (starting at 12:15) and how strikingly brief and downbeat Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat was in his one minute and 10 seconds (starting at 11:00).
If you want to know what’s going on, you can get Kerry’s information by reading the transcript. To get a feel for how it went and what’s ahead, though, I recommend watching the video of Erekat and Livni (start at 11:00):
